TAMIU Plans New Year's Eve Basketball Bash

The Texas A&M International University's men's
basketball team will ring in 2004 with a New Year's
Eve Basketball Bash match-up against Utah Valley State.
Tip-off between the Dustdevils and Wolverines is slated
for 6 p.m.

Admission to the New Year's Eve game is reduced to
$2 for adults and $1 for students. Everyone with a
TAMIU ID will be admitted free.

All in attendance at the game will receive a coupon
for a free Mariachi Express mariachi. Free programs
will be provided for each youth admission for a team
autograph session after the game.

TAMIU T-shirts will be thrown out before the game and
with each 3-pointer hit by the Dustdevils.

At halftime, two lucky contestants will shoot-it-out
for valuable prizes, including a four-ticket package
from the Laredo Bucks. All fans will be eligible to
win free food prizes from Mariachi Express, Coyote
Creek and Wendy's Restaurants. Additionally, youths
will be allowed on the court at halftime to shoot like
the Dustdevils.
